Happy first day of summer break, and congratulations on another successful school year! Below are a few notes related to summer work and professional learning.
Join Our Hashtag
So many people have commented to me over the years how lucky teachers are to have the 'summer off.' We as educators know that the work continues. I hope everyone has time to relax and recharge over these summer months--you have certainly earned it. I also know that many of you will be engaged in professional learning and work over the next few months. (Southeast Polk Summer Professional Development Calendar) If you are on Twitter, you are invited to join our hashtag #whatteachersdointhesummer. (Be sure to also include the #sepolk hashtag). We look forward to hearing about your experiences!
Curriculum Work Payroll
We are piloting a new group payroll document this summer for curriculum work. The coordinator facilitating your session will work with you to access and complete this information.
Teacher Quality and Individual Payroll
We have over 220 teachers taking courses as a part of our Teacher Quality plan (and we have extended the deadline to Friday). This is outstanding! When you complete your TQ course, please download an individual payroll form. This may be found on the MySEP page under Human Resources/Payroll. I have also included a link below:
Please download this form, and you may either print a copy, or complete electronically. Once completed, please print, sign, and submit to the appropriate supervisor for approval signatures.
For TQ courses, include a copy of your transcript and submit to Nikki Christianson in the curriculum office. There is no need to have your instructor sign your payroll form.
Teacher Quality funds will pay for up to 15 hours of course time. Many courses include more than 15 hours. Please just list the 15 hours payable on your payroll form. For those of you taking online courses, you may list up to 15 hours of time that you worked on the course.
Enjoy your summer of learning and fun!
